By JOSHUA TRUJILLO

In early June, fishing vessels will depart Seattle's Fishermen's Terminal for the trek to Alaska and points north for the salmon season. The fleet has been operating out of its Seattle home for 100 years. Commissioned in1914, Fisherhman's Terminal is an icon of Seattle. We dig into our photo archive for a look back.
